Outer box is long gone. But it lives safely in it's little case. That's very nice for 1/43 scale Randy! Or any scale really.
THarrison351 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 This arrived yesterday. Bobby Allison's 1969 Dodge Charger Superbird owned by Mario Rossi. It looks even better than the pictures! The gold really pops! Other than the colors, it's like the other University of Racing Legends cars I posted in a separate thread. I have no idea what's next from Icons.

Very plain jane just like the 1:1 pickup was. I bought it knowing the review mirror was broken off but did not know about the rash on the front fender and hood, not too bad fortunately. I may try to pop the yellowed headlamps and replace them. Super nice!

randyc Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Actually looks pretty good to me. A bit of polish and it will look much better. I'd hit that with the polishing wheel in moto tool and watch the shine come up.
Flat32 Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Binge buying results. I did buy one outside of the group, a 1955 Chevy Belair convertible, just to see the working hood hinges.

Flat32 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 My pipe dream diorama subject. Currently don't have any build bench or even a place to put one so have to bear the shame of buying. I'll be looking for a similar diorama building kit.
THarrison351 Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 This came in today. 1941 Lincoln Continental by Franklin Mint. Seller mislisted as a 1943. Lincoln and for that matter, no domestic auto manufacturer built cars for public consumption in 1943. No one else bid and I won. Looks like it's never been in a dusty environment. It came complete, all boxes, accessories and paperwork. I've been looking for one of the LEs as a replacement for my maroon version. I've had it for awhile, as one of the first mint cars I purchased. It came dirty and broken, but complete. Had to glue on mirrors, hood ornament, and a bumper. Never really dis a good job cleaning it now that I've pulled it back out of the box. It was shoved off a shelf a couple of years ago and busted off everything I fixed, plus the other bumper. Spent this afternoon gluing parts back on to sell it. This Darian Blue LE version is really nice. The fact that it's essentially new, and unblemished is great, but they updated it too with the scripts that were never on the maroon version. The hood and trunk lid stay open now as well. I might do a separate thread for it. We'll have to see.
randyc Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Nice Lincoln. We have the maroon, this one, and the navy blue. I like the lighter one, wife likes the darker one. Some day will try to get the white one as well. Beautiful cars.
Gramps46 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Another old truck! This one is a 1937 Ford by Motormax in 1/24. Not bad for $17.86 shipped. I did not realize the green would be a metallic or I might have opted for another color. And the wheels need to be toned down, not candy apple green in 1937. A black wash on the grille would be good.

Minor Snake fu and it will be a winner. Maybe a medium gray on the wheels.

I watch the "Alaska State Troopers" tv show, it's an interesting view of Alaska. I am amazed at the number of Crown Vics in their fleet. Especially in the scenes where they are racing to an emergency in show. They do have a good number of 4wd vehicles, you'd think all their vehicles would be!

They would move even faster if you put a bull bar on it. ?

HomerS Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Didn't know they released these in kit form.........
randyc Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Yep. I have a Cobra kit. Parts have gone missing over the years. Probably sell it.
